types of bone cells and their functions

Biologydictionary.net Editors. Currently, researchers are looking into ways to regenerate bone. As shown in Figure 11.4.6, bone tissues are composed of four different types of bone cells: osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts, and osteogenic cells. However, how do they know when to do this? Osteoblast: This is concerned with bone formation and is found in the growing surface where the bony matrix is deposited. Biologydictionary.net Editors. The main function of the short bones is to provide stability and some degree of movement. Therefore, osteoblasts resemble bone marrow cells in some ways, such as having only one nucleus. At the time of their early life, osteoclasts are closely related to other cells regarding the origin, such as macrophages, monocytes, and granulocytes. The majority of bone cells are osteocytes, which are essentially osteoblasts that have become surrounded and trapped by the substances they secrete. These cells collectively comprise less than 2 percent of the bone mass. { "38.01:_Types_of_Skeletal_Systems_-_Functions_of_the_Musculoskeletal_System" : "property get [Map
